| Wyred4Sound - Do clocks age? As I might have expected, Geoff, it looks like you're well versed on Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity :-)Regards,-- Al | |
| Wyred4Sound - Do clocks age? Hi Erik,Assuming this is the review you are referring to, the relevant words appear to be on page 3, and are as follows: Tony's opening comments on owner feedback which Wyred has collected suggest that potential applications include not just 'con... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC You see, there is a 1 m Wel for sale also. But, of course, it is a bit more money. Other than resale, there is no point spending more as far as I can see. I agree completely. In fact spending more for the 1 meter WEL could very conceivably be soni... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Rinpoche,Apologies for my post not being stated more clearly. No I was definitely not saying that the 0.5 meter cable would not sound good. As I indicated, "I’d feel pretty certain that the AQ cable will work fine."In the post just above mine G... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC I'd feel pretty certain that the AQ cable will work fine, but given its very short 0.5 meter length I'd be hesitant to read too much into such a finding. Given also that the Transparent cables and perhaps also Crystal cables that were used initi... | |
| Audio Research PH5 Phono Preamplifier Input Clipping Problem My suspicion is that the REF 3 design includes active circuitry that is "ahead" of the volume control in its internal signal path. If so, the fact that the volume can be cranked up to high levels without clipping when a SUT is not being used wou... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC If the Odin loom were found to be truly ’" mind blowimg" transformative in your system would you be tempted to part ways with the Porsche? Think about it, a lover of classical music with "mind blowing " music reproduction in your home. Nope. No ch... | |
| Audio Research PH5 Phono Preamplifier Input Clipping Problem Are you sure it is the phono stage that is overloading? Your Ref3 preamp has a specified maximum input level of 10 volts for its unbalanced inputs (which I presume you are using, since the phono stage provides only unbalanced outputs). The 57.5 ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC I agree completely with the foregoing comments. While I perhaps worded my Porsche/Odin comment more subtly than I should have, my main point (in addition to providing a bit of perspective on the cost of some of the cables that have been mentioned... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC My suggestion about the proposed trade: Tell the dealer that before deciding you’d like to borrow the $6000 cables so that you can compare them in your own system to a 1 meter pair of Mogami Gold Studio, selling new for less than 2% of that amount... | |
| Speaker cable lengths doe it matter they are not equal??? Hi Bob,As far as I am aware Transparent and the other makers of cables that incorporate network boxes haven’t ever published schematics or other detailed information defining the circuits that are in those boxes. Without that kind of information, ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC CODA makes some very nice products, Rinpoche. However I see that the link at their site for the specs on the 15.5, while going to specs that are stated to be for the 15.0, indicates an input impedance of 50K unbalanced/1K balanced. And the link... | |
| Amp's Line-Out to Subwoofer? Good catch once again, Tony! Until you pointed it out I hadn't even noticed the ambiguity of the word "fixed" as used in the last part of that sentence. But, yes, I'd feel pretty certain the poster meant "corrected in the future."Best regards,-- Al | |
| Amp's Line-Out to Subwoofer? I will definitely be contacting Music Hall to see if this is a fixed or variable line out (does anyone know why the former would be of any use to someone?) A fixed line output would be useful for connection to a recorder or to an external head... | |
| Amp's Line-Out to Subwoofer? I found the following comment about the a15.2 that was placed in 2012 at a different forum: Two years ago they told me they screwed up production on these and hooked up the subwoofer out to the fixed volume instead of a variable volume, but it wou... |
